January 2008

I love to relish the happiness in simple moments like these! JD was wrestling with the kids and Cade came over laughing wanting to jump on the stack of kids! Apparently he is not my baby anymore!! Joey licking the syrup off his plate on a normal Saturday morning. And Jordyn giving Luke a makeover. Is that blue blush? Clearly, potential blackmail.

Tyson got baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on January 5th! It was such an amazing experience for me as a mother to watch him listen and learn and love the gospel! Tyson is such a good boy- he is always friendly to others, shares and loves to help others and make them laugh. What a day! What a great kid!! I was quick to snap a shot of JD as he grabbed too small of a jumpsuit and was fishing for a larger one. How cute.

"Arrgh, me Harties!!!" That's what Tyson wrote on his Pirate hat he made at Luke and Joey's birthday party! It was the first year for them to have a friend birthday party! I made the treasure chest cake for the pirates to find at the end of their treasure hunt. They loved it!

I was wondering why Luke is growing out of his pants, so I put Luke and Joey back to back and this is what I found. This summer the lifegaurd almost didn't let Joeyon the waterslides because he was barely below the line and Luke was barely above it! And I always thought they were the same height! Crazy.

Even with our 5 boys to 2 girls ratio- Jordyn and I still have some feminine influence in this house.... The other picture is showing my 5 year old boys playing Jordyn's Polly Pockets in the sink with their shirts off.

I feel so technological, now that I figured out how to put this video clip of Jordyn on here. Her jump rope team is called the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and I pretty much think my daughter is Amazing! Hey- I'm a mom- it's my job to think my kids are the best in the world!
